Why should I stop buying industrially produced eggs?

Firstly, you should know that the industrial way to raise eggs is bad for people.

In reality, factory-farming industries, chicken production is designed for maximum efficiency and of course for maximum profit

Therefore, the welfare of the animals involved becomes luxury.

Implementing more human ways to raise hens would reduce the profits. The extra cost is passed on to consumers.

The way factory industries raised hen’s indoors, is disgusting to me.

Large-scale farming practices ( Factory ) give chickens no opportunity to behave according to their nature.

First, hard to imagine negative compelling pieces of evidence.

Because all the birds are so close together they are forced to urinate and defecate on one another.

For this reason, too many cages generate more fecal dust, this is associated with potential diseases.

As a matter of fact. This situation of unhealthy hygiene can be carried by rodents animals and insects. Many birds die, and survivors are forced to live with their dead and dying cage mates. This is unacceptable!

Important to realize, that with so many overpopulated cages it is obviously very difficult and costly to disinfect them properly. Sadly this leads to low natural immunity in chickens due to the stressful life they have.

I would say, eating such poor product, on the negative side, it is not safe for you.

Because of the way they used to feed by adding some arsenic in their food to promote growth in hens, even more, an extra dose of antibiotics.

To complete the picture the light in the sheds is constantly manipulated to maximize egg production.

In that scenario

Often factory farms have to deal with the problem of contamination, because what they produce cause illness in human.

Here are some proofs.

In 2010, the FDA ordered the recall of 380 million eggs, because of possible salmonella contamination.

For humans, to be contaminated by egg consumption is a real risk. And could cause serious health issues. Especially if the hens aren’t raised in a certified safe enough environment.

Here the health risks you can develop.

Brain damage

Depression

Miss carriage or

Birth defects

You have to do some research (on the packaging), in order to buy safe products.

More facts:

Generally speaking, female chickens are selected and sent to egg farms.

The color of an egg is not an indicator of quality. When it comes to taste and nutrition there is no difference, between brown and white. Despite the fact that brown eggs are often more expensive.

Fresh eggs can be kept 3–5 weeks in the fridge and about a year in the freezer. The longer an egg is kept in storage the more its quality declines.

How many eggs does a factory farm chicken lay?

Assuming that because of decades of genetic manipulation and selective breeding, chickens produce 250 to 300 eggs per year.

Such production is amazing, isn’t?

In comparing with the production cycle in nature.

Normally wild hens lay only 10 to 15 eggs annually.

Typically they lay eggs only during breeding season, and only for the purpose of reproduction.

In 2010 Study Published in the Journal Veterinary Record

Founds that the eggs from hens confined to cages as they are often in factory farms had 7.77-times probability of harboring SALMONELLA bacteria. Compare to hen eggs from cage-free animals.

Chickens raised in industrial farms are short of an essential protein-based amino acid know as METHIONINE.

As a matter of fact, without it, the bird fall ill.

Worse, the hens will also turn on each other, pecking at each other in search of nutrients. Consequently, this issue can escalate into a hen house bloodbath.

I can’t even imagine this scene, it is simply terrible!

In contrast, here is some positive information.

Chicken love to scratch on pasture, they can engage in their natural behavior of scratching at the ground and uncover bugs, frogs, mice, snakes, as a potential source of protein.

Those chickens that are allowed to be chickens

Hens are omnivores, not vegetarians, the force vegetarianism can be a disaster!
